The other day, Honey wanted me to spell Mary for her (she was pretending to be Mary Poppins at Disney World signing autographs). I started with M-A-R. She screeched for asked me to stop after the R because she was having trouble writing it to her satisfaction. Here's what followed:
Honey: What's next?
Me: Y
Honey (feeling quite aggravated): Because I don't know how to spell it!
Me: The letter Y, Honey.
Honey (feeling quite chastened): Oh.
Then she wanted me to spell Poppins. I told her the first 3 letters. Then:
Honey: Okay, I'm ready.
Me: P
Honey: I already did P!
Me: Another P.
Honey: Oh.
I'd like to say I was feeling quite goodnatured at this point, but I wasn't. I was annoyed. Now, I look back on it and can laugh quite heartily.
